Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 1 tablespoon Active dry yeast
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 2.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 Egg

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir lightly and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

Add the vegetable oil and egg to the yeast mixture, then stir to combine.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon or using the dough hook attachment on a stand mixer until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, knead for 5 minutes using a stand mixer.

Step 6

Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball.

Step 8

Place the dough balls onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each roll.

Step 9

Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and allow them to rise for another 15 minutes in a warm spot.

Step 10

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 11

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 12

Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Optional: brush the tops with melted butter for extra flavor.
